Fu Tian moxibustion at home, and someone was burned in low temperature

Wuhan Evening News July 28th News The seemingly safe moxibustion, it operated at home, caused low temperature burns. After entering the "Sanfu Sky", many people in the Wuhan Third Hospital Burning Department were treated at home in the winter disease at home. As a result, the citizens who caused burns caused by the improper operation of moxibustion.

Ms. Zhou, 59, had old problems with back pain. After entering, she put the moxibustion box in a cloth bag and tied it to her waist to "treat". In order to "strengthen the efficacy", Ms. Zhou continued to work with the moxibustion box, and it was not removed until the box was not heated until nearly 1 hour. That night, Ms. Zhou felt the location of the moxibustion box in the left back waist was hot and painful, and a small blisters were found in the mirror, and she quickly painted the scald ointment. A week later, not only did the wound not recover, but it formed a larger area of ​​redness and swelling. The pain was unbearable. She hurried to the hospital for a clinic and diagnosed three degrees of burns.

Another citizen Mr. Xiong, according to the acupuncture point of Chinese medicine, to do the Zusanli acupuncture of moxibustion calves at home. During the operation, Mr. Xiong felt red and hot. He thought it was the effect of acupoint stimulation, and he insisted on his teeth for 20 minutes. A few hours later, he picked up his trouser legs and found that his calves were blistered. Since then, Mr. Xiong has been treated at home for treatment. After the blisters have been broken, he has not healed, and went to community hospitals for changing drugs. He still did not improve. After ten days, Mr. Xiong recently went to the hospital to see a doctor.

In daily life, most of them are burned by hot boiling water, mostly only caused by once. When operating moxibustion, there is no light fire directly to the skin, why does it cause three -degree scald that is more severe than burn in water?

Zhang Xiangming, director of the Skin Capital Repair Center of the Optics Valley District of Wuhan Third Hospital, analyzed that most of the burns caused by moxibustion were low temperature burns. Due to the heat source with a high temperature of the body for a long time, the skin and subcutaneous part of the contact site caused by the heat accumulation caused the contact site Organization is damaged. Such wounds are often large and deep with blisters.

How to avoid burns at home for moxibustion? Zhang Xiangming suggested that if you operate at home, you need to strictly control the time of moxibustion. Generally, one part does not exceed 10 minutes. Because the skin of the elderly and diabetic patients feels sensitive, the child's skin is delicate and not resistant to cold and heat. When operating, the heat source should not be too close to the skin. Once the skin starts to become red, consider stopping the operation. If low temperature burns have occurred, do not break the blisters to prevent infection. Due to the deep wounds of low temperature burns, the commonly used cold compresses have no obvious effect. At this time, the wound should be protected from pollution and medical treatment in time. (Reporter Wang Chunlan Correspondent Jiang Hongying Li Yan)
